Port-au-Prince , Haiti -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Israeli rescuers pulled a 22-year-old man from the ruins of a three-story building on Friday , 10 days after the massive earthquake killed tens of thousands of people .

The man , who was not immediately identified , was rescued near the quake-ravaged presidential residence south of the capital , according to the Israel Defense Forces .

Maj. Zohar Moshe said American and French doctors asked for the Israeli team 's assistance after trying to rescue the trapped man themselves .

The rescuers `` were able to release him whole and healthy '' and take him to an IDF field hospital in stable condition for further treatment , '' he said .

Rescuers continue efforts to find survivors who have defied the odds , including a 7-year-old boy and 11-year-old girl who were found Tuesday . Another 5-year-old boy , Monley , was pulled alive from rubble nearly eight days after the 7.0-magnitude quake had leveled much of Port-au-Prince .

More than 121 people have been pulled alive from the rubble , the United Nations said this week .

Fires are expected to flare up in the quake 's aftermath , from broken mains and other damage . A massive blaze consumed a textile factory in Port-au-Prince Friday night as U.N. workers tried to contain the flames and spare nearby buildings . The cause of the fire was not immediately known .

Meanwhile , aftershocks from the 7.0-magnitude quake have become a way of life for people here as they spend their days searching for food , water and shelter .

Haitians brace for each aftershock as they wait for supplies and sustenance to reach them .

More than $ 355 million in donations in the United States alone has been raised for the relief effort , but stacks of aid -- baby formula , pain medication , antibiotics and other much-needed supplies -- are sitting on the tarmac and in warehouses at the airport in Port-au-Prince , the capital .

What is reaching the hands of survivors is getting there at a snail 's pace .

`` It 's a shame , because you would hope that everything could get out there within seconds , '' Air Force Col. Ben McMullen told CNN 's chief medical correspondent , Sanjay Gupta , at the airport . `` But that kind of infrastructure just is n't in place . ''

Each new aftershock -- smaller earthquakes that follow a more powerful one -- slows down the relief effort even further .

Friday morning 's 4.4-magnitude quake was much less powerful than the 7.0-magnitude one that struck January 12 , leaving widespread death and destruction in its wake . A 5.9-magnitude earthquake Wednesday was the strongest aftershock of the week -- enough to cause considerable damage , the U.S. Geological Survey said , though the extent of damage that any earthquake causes depends on factors such as its depth , its proximity to dense population centers and the strength of structures where it hits .

An American adoption service provider in Haiti wrote in a blog that the aftershock Wednesday sent `` a wall tumbling down on our heads . '' Save the Children said its staff `` heard already-weakened structures collapsing '' as a result .

Still , the 7.0-magnitude quake was more than 40 times stronger than the 5.9-magnitude aftershock , researchers said . The death toll is estimated at 200,000 , according to the European Union , whose commissioner for development and humanitarian aid , Karel De Gucht , got a firsthand view of the situation in Port-au-Prince this week .

About 250,000 people are in urgent need of aid and another 3 million have been affected , the EU reported .

Despite all the obstacles , some progress was made Friday .

The city 's south pier was operating , though slowly . Authorities pushed Friday to get operations moving faster at the port . The north pier remained unusable , and the south pier is the smaller of the two .

In addition to the aftershocks , bottlenecks at all points of entry -- the airport , roads and ports -- have delayed food and medical aid to the estimated 3 million Haitians affected by the quake .

Canadian troops have been working to open an airport in Jacmel , a seaside town about 8 miles from Port-au-Prince .

About 120 to 140 flights a day were coming into the single-runway Port-au-Prince airport , compared with 25 a day just after the quake struck last week . But there was still a long list of flights waiting to come in , Lt. Gen. Douglas Fraser of the U.S. Southern Command said Thursday .

To improve air traffic , the U.S. military said Wednesday it had obtained landing rights at the Dominican Republic 's air base at San Isidro , about 220 kilometers -LRB- 135 miles -RRB- east of Port-au-Prince .

Dominican troops will start patrolling a critical corridor between Jimani and Port-au-Prince , the United Nations said . The patrol should speed the delivery aid into Haiti , it said .

In the meantime , working under adverse conditions with limited supplies , medical teams have been forced to improvise .

Renzo Fricke , field coordinator for Doctors Without Borders , said this week staffers had to buy a saw in the market so surgeons could do amputations . A CNN crew loaned a medic a pocketknife for another operation .

Lacking rubbing alcohol , doctors have used vodka to sterilize equipment and instruments . Surgical patients are receiving over-the-counter pain medicine because doctors lack stronger medication . One nurse used a string of Christmas lights as a makeshift extension cord .

The USNS Comfort , a U.S. naval hospital off the coast , received about 240 patients over 36 hours , said Capt. James Ware , the commanding officer . `` Most of those individuals are critical care types of injuries , '' he told CNN 's `` American Morning . ''

Virtually all are being brought to the ship by air . The ship has 80 doctors , including 24 surgeons , and 140 nurses , he said .

`` I think when we 're totally mature , which will be in the next two to three days , we believe that we 'll be able to push about 150 patients through to the ship and off the ship every day for surgical care , and the government of Haiti is giving us guidance exactly on where those patients will receive their follow-on care , '' he said , adding that officials hope the international community and the United Nations will oversee that process .

More than 300 aid distribution sites are up and running , a senior U.S. administration official said . More than 700,000 meals and 1.4 million bottles of water have been delivered , along with 22,000 pounds of medical supplies , Fraser said .

Puerto Rico 's 250-feet long , 80-feet wide Barge of Hope -- loaded five pallets high with food and water , medical supplies , generators and sundries -- set sail Friday afternoon .

Puerto Rican authorities say that when it arrives in Haiti on Monday morning , it will be the single largest shipment of aid to arrive there to date . The roughly 4 million pounds of food are enough to feed the people of Port-au-Prince for a week . Organizers say it would take 150 planes to carry as much cargo .

A group of rescuers told CNN Friday that each rescue gives them hope to keep working .

`` Every time we find a live victim that 's the energy that keeps us going to the next day , '' said Capt. Louis Fernandez of Miami-Dade Urban Search and Rescue .

`` These are some of the harshest conditions I 've ever seen , '' he said , adding , `` Nothing has ever prepared us for what we 've seen here this week . ''

At least 9,288 Americans and some of their family members in Haiti have been evacuated , according to the U.S. State Department , though the whereabouts of nearly 5,000 other Americans remain unknown . Some 75 others from the United States -- including five government officials -- are either confirmed or presumed dead .
